If You’re Armed and at the Glenmont Metro, Please Shoot Me | 9.25 | drug trials, drugs, experimentation, experiments, madness, Peter Frost David, psychological, psychological horror, sci-fi, science, science fiction, time
| If you’re armed and at the Glenmont metro, please shoot me.
Make it a headshot. Shoot me in the temple, aiming slightly downwards. I need the bullet to travel the shortest possible distance through my brain before it hits my hippocampus. If I’m lucky, the sensation of the gunshot ripping through my skull will only last... | 12 minutes | February 20, 2020 | Drugs and Addictions, Madness, Paranoia, and Mental Illness, Psychological Horror, Science and Experimentation, Science Fiction and Aliens |
A Shattered Life | 9.13 | disease, entities, Matt Dymerski, monsters, paranormal, supernatural, time travel
| I don’t know when you’re going to read this, but I can tell you when it started: I was out for a walk alone in the woods when the entity came for me. It was beyond a blur. It was, for lack of a better term, absence of meaning. Where it hid, there were no trees; where it crept closer, there was no grass; through the a... | 14 minutes | July 22, 2020 | Madness, Paranoia, and Mental Illness, Monsters, Creatures, and Cryptids, Science Fiction and Aliens |
My Father Punished Me When I Talked to Ghosts | 9.12 | abductions, blindness, child abuse, childhood, children, crimes, deaths, deception, investigations, kidnappings, kids, lies, murders
| I’ve been blind since birth. As I grew up, everything was described to me in such vivid detail that I didn’t even realize why it was that important to see, especially having no reference point to compare it. We lived in a single-floor ranch house, that’s what Father told me. In my mind, of course, I could see, although... | 8 minutes | December 10, 2019 | Abductions and Kidnappings, Children and Childhood, Deaths, Murders, and Disappearances, Investigations and Crimes |
Distorted Warning Signals | 9.12 | Ashley Rose Wellman
| When I got the first one, I was literally seconds away from stepping onto the plane when a call from “UNKNOWN” blared from my cell phone. It was a ringtone I hadn’t heard before, one I was pretty sure hadn’t come with the phone.
Normally, I wouldn’t have stopped to answer it, but I was expecting a call about a job I ha... | 3 minutes | July 13, 2019 | Beings and Entities, Deaths, Murders, and Disappearances, Madness, Paranoia, and Mental Illness, Monsters, Creatures, and Cryptids, Occult, Magic, and Witchcraft, Psychological Horror, Survival Horror, Suspense and Thrillers |
He Who Wanders | 9.12 | Simon Simonian
| I missed the scorching wind of Andalusia. How it pours sunlight onto your face, toying with eyelashes, flattening dry sand against cheeks and milling around hair. I missed the smell of the valley and that ripening softness of Muscat fluff glistening in the afternoon breeze.
From up here, I can see the house where I gre... | 22 minutes | January 24, 2017 | Beings and Entities |
The Living History Project | 9.12 | Christine O'Neill, deaths, diaries, dying, history, letters, memories, military, projects, radios, recordings, school, students, suicides, teachers, technology, war, war stories, wars
| One of my least favorite parts about being a middle school history teacher is the bullshit “Living History” assignments we give at the end of every school year. Kids are supposed to sit with their grandparents and video tape, voice record, or transcribe their oldest memories for posterity (and for an easy way to bring ... | 10 minutes | April 25, 2019 | Artifacts and Objects, Deaths, Murders, and Disappearances, Historical Fiction, Journals and Diaries, Locations and Sites, Military and Warfare, Strange and Unexplained, Technology, the Internet, and the Deep Web |
I Found a Letter From My Stalker | 9.12 | messages, MinisterofOwls, mutilations, notes, stalkers
| I found this note, nailed onto a tree on my front lawn. I really don’t know how to describe it. I’ll just let you read it yourself.
[Note start]
I saw you today. It was your birthday. You didn’t see me. You hardly ever do these days.
Your skin looked so nice and healthy, and your eyes, they were the most beautiful I’d... | 12 minutes | January 6, 2019 | Body Horror, Madness, Paranoia, and Mental Illness, Strange and Unexplained |
Don’t Let Them In | 9.11 | addictions, alcoholics, alcoholism, child abuse, childhood, children, domestic abuse, drug abuse, drugs, kids, Maddie Kate, mental illness, mothers, parents, substance abuse, suspense
| Addiction took our mother slowly, rocked her through it and sung her to sleep sunk deep into the mattress on her bed. When her back teeth fell out, she left them on the side of the bathtub. I was seven, and I kept them in a matchbox, the missing pieces of her kept safe so that she wouldn’t be lost forever. So maybe one... | 13 minutes | May 28, 2019 | Children and Childhood, Drugs and Addictions, Madness, Paranoia, and Mental Illness, Suspense and Thrillers |
What Happens When the Stars Go Out | 9.11 | afterlife, deaths, feelspastas, Jesse Clark, life, love, marriage
| The red lights are only making the pain worse. It is an immense, earth-shattering pain, in my midsection and in my head. I try to move, but I can’t; I try to speak, but I can’t do that either. It hurts too much, and my voice obeys me no more than do my joints or my muscles or my bones or my mind.
And yet still there is... | 21 minutes | June 25, 2020 | Deaths, Murders, and Disappearances, Feelspastas and Happy Endings, Hell and the Afterlife, Strange and Unexplained |
